Steve Jackson Games‘ Phil Reed was happy to tease us at the GAMA Trade Show with news of an upcoming Hellboy Board Game planned for the fourth quarter. No other details or images, though. Grrr!
So what else did he reveal?
Muertoons Mix-Up, a card game for tweens based on the the Mexican Day of the Dead book and cartoon series, is scheduled for a summer release at $13. It’s a redesign of SJG’s earlier game, Spooks.
Ogre Operation 218, a two player card game based on Battle for Hill 218 published by Your Move Games, will follow in the fall at $15.
GURPS Mars Attacks, a full-color, hard-cover RPG supplement, should hit retail in October at $25.
And on the Car Wars front, SJG isn’t yet ready for the promised new edition of the base game. However, the company is planning a Kickstarter project later this month for Car Wars Arenas, a package of five map sheets and an arena rule book. With stretch goals, the map sheets could be double-sided.
Come December you’ll be able to mix your love of Mars Attacks and Dreadball with the brand-new Red Planets Martian team for the best damn sports game there is. The team is currently available for preorder, and costs $20. Included in the package will be:
I’m really interested to see how they play in the game.
